On July 16, the male icon personally delivered this news on SNS through a lengthy letter, saying:

“Hello. This is Sungmin. 

I am writing this carefully to be the first to share the news with my fans. 

“My precious baby has finally arrived. After 10 years of marriage, I will become a father. 

As this is a baby that came with difficulty, I will raise it with love care, and a sense of responsibility. 

I’ve been wondering a lot about when and how to break this news to all of you. I’m nervous, but I would be grateful if you could watch over us with a warm heart. 

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:17368029691585382,size:[0, 0],id:”ld-5581-4334″});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=”//cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js”;j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,”script”,”ld-ajs”);

Now that I have someone to take responsibility for, everything in the world feels more precious than before. 

Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has always supported and cared for me with love and interest. 

From now on, I will continue to become a singer Sungmin who gives happiness and repays you with good songs. 

Thank you.”

In particular, Sungmin became the first member of Super Junior to get married and have a baby.

In 2014, he married musical actress Kim Sa Eun. Unfortunately, their relationship wasn’t as welcomed as expected, leading him to take an indefinite hiatus from the group.

Since then, Super Junior has continued without him, and amid group activities, he has become active as a soloist, music actor, and trot singer. Over the years, the married couple is said to have avoided having a baby immediately to appease fans’ sense of betrayal from Sungmin.

Contrary to him, Ryeowook, the second active member to get married among Super Junior instead, received positive feedback. Although people still criticize him due to his wife Ari’s rumored background, he fought for her and eventually gained the general public’s approval.

Ryeowook was also lauded for inviting Super Junior OG members, including those who left, gifting ELFs (fandom) their most-sought OT15 interaction. At the time, Sungmin also attended, and the tension seemed to calm down as he gained more positive reactions, hoping he could be promoted to Super Junior again.

In his letter, although he will finally become a father, he hinted at his desire to continue being a singer for fans.
